Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Lord, Thank You for loving me fiercely and for pursuing a relationship with me. At the same time, thank You for not forcing that relationship but for planting and nurturing a desire in my heart for communion with You. My relationship with You is more important to me now than ever because I understand how very much I need You as the center of my life. Thank You for bringing me near by the blood of Christ.
Eph 2:14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility.
Lord, I know You want to be my peace. I know You have given me the tools to make that happen. Please give me wisdom and discernment to understand how to claim Your peace in my life. I want it desperately, but I think there is still so much of my own humanity in my way. Help me, Lord, to put myself aside and allow You to be my center and my peace. Show me how.
Eph 2:22 And in Him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit.
Lord, Thank You for this day and for the strong desire to live a life that honors You. Help me to fully understand what that means and how to make it happen. Help me to put aside anything that keeps me from fully claiming You as my center and my peace. Dwell in me. Draw me closer. Amen.
Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
